This years launch was a tremendous success. Our balloon made it up to 80,000 feet. We had several experiments on board. Here is the list: solar cell efficiency, polymer integrity test, roach exposure, bacteria samples, pressure, and temperature. Also work was done on a cut-down system and a autonomous flight control system. We launched at 7:36 a.m. and recovered the balloon at 1:50 p.m.. The balloon landed around 9:30 a.m. but we had trouble located the balloon in the tall grass. We had two data loggers on board. One worked well and the other had power issues shortly into the flight. The experiment module design was a regular dodecahedron. As a result of this the camera and video equipment were mounted externally. This exposed the equipment to the cold air and the batteries died on the assent around 35,000 ft. A lot was learned and we look forward to the next launch.
